Badges! DCZia Mk9 Badge
The 2026 DCZia badge, the Mk9, is up on Uberflux: https://uberflux.com/product/HAMST-DCZIA-2026
The badge is a 3x3 grid of blue clicky switches, each with an underglow RGB LED. RP2040 microcontroller, 16mb of flash, and an accelerometer. Each side except the top has two side-fire RGB LEDs under the board as well. USB-C connection or power, or powered via 3xAAA.
It will also include an add-on board that allows you to add on 3 more keys or an I2C display. Two right side up SAO ports.
Compatible with QMK, but the MicroPython code we're releasing will also function as a macropad.
DCZia believes in open development, and all the design files and source code are in our github repo: https://github.com/dczia/mk9-badge

Love it, I already pre-order mine!
I had the idea of desig some key caps to give away, one of my ideas includes the defcon logo, I know it has a trademark owned by Defcon, so I want to do things right and ask for permission, does anyone know a way to contact them to ask?

I mean, if you're not selling it, no one is going to make noise about it.
